How Your Thoughts Program Your Cells

Some “Basic” Cellular Biology

There are thousands upon thousands of receptors on each cell in our body. Each receptor is specific to one peptide, or protein. When we have feelings of anger, sadness, guilt, excitement, happiness or nervousness, each separate emotion releases its own flurry of neuropeptides. Those peptides surge through the body and connect with those receptors which change the structure of each cell as a whole. Where this gets interesting is when the cells actually divide. If a cell has been exposed to a certain peptide more than others, the new cell that is produced through its division will have more of the receptor that matches with that specific peptide. Likewise, the cell will also have less receptors for peptides that its mother/sister cell was not exposed to as often.

Thus if you have been bombarding your cells with peptides from a negative attitude, you are literally programming your cells to receive more of those peptides in the future. Even worse, you are lessening the number of receptors of positive-attitude peptides, making yourself inclined towards negativity.

This is why it takes more than a few days of positive thinking to make a significant impact on your long-term attitude patterns. Every cell in your body is replaced every 2 months. So if you have a history of negative thinking, depression, pessimism or perpetual frustration, plan on working on yourself for longer than a few days before you see more permanent results.

Start today.Start reshaping the biological structure of your cells and become inclined to happiness and optimism instead of whatever emotion your are physically addicted to right now.

Hey, I'm the creator of HighExistence. I love inspiring others to follow their bliss, which in turn fulfills my own. I also write on my personal blog and run a company that sells crazy shirts and rave clothing :)

i wish there was a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down button on each of your posts. this one would get a thumbs up, along with 2 or 3 others i’ve read so far. i dont want to “FB” this, or “tweet” it.. I just wish there was a way to let you know that this post is a step in the right direction (moreso than others). a thumbs-up button would help with this, so I dont have to copy and paste this message all the time, but yeah.. you should work on that.

this page is a decent source of information, i stumbeledupon it and i’ve lurked it for abotu an hour, as oppose to the regular 2 seconds most stumble sites get. so, good job, and thanks.

Fits in very nicely with my study of what the Bible means when it says in Romans 12 verse 2.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of yourmind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” The thing is most mind over matter programmes come unstuck because it is so difficult for the participant to maintain the positive thinking. When God is allowed into the picture he takes the hard work out of it, filling our minds with positive thoughts he has about us which are truly mind blowing. As our identity is altered our negative thoughts come replaced not only be different thinking but by a different perspective of our selves, circumstances, past, present or future.
